Seven idyllic churches in the Wye Valley, the StowCaple Benefice is an active and friendly collection of parish churches. This is a perfect place for pilgrimage, and this will become a permanent pilgrimage place, part of the Wye Valley Walk Pilgrimage, there will be a link soon and more details as we develop the routes and prayer/experience in our churches.
Over the Benefice you find diversity of worship, from both Common Worship and the timeless Book of Common Prayer services, to family services. We also have a contemporary worship service 'Sanctuary', a Celtic Service once a month, and a contemplative prayer space one a month. There are Bible studies online and in person and if you are seeking to know more about the Christian faith and want to attend an introduction to Christianity course, the next one will be advertised on here soon.
If you are housebound and unable to get to church, we are more than willing to provide home communions. Our Rector, Rev'd Laura Hewitt, is always happy to talk to parishioners about God, worship and life. And if you want prayer or to be added to our church prayer list please email her to let her know.
